I have a question for everyone who has forced themselves to take classes or tests about topics that seem impractical to learn.
I have had a successful career without a college degree and obviously I am aware that I need to finish school to get to the next level, otherwise I wouldn't be here.
That being said, I am struggling a little bit (ok... a lot) with having to learn about things that don't interest me and that I already KNOW that I won't need in my career. I am scheduled to take the A&I Lit CLEP this Saturday and I'm going through the different topics on IC to figure out which test will be next... problem is I am having a hard time getting interested in something that I'll never use.
Does anyone else feel this way and how have you overcome this mental block? It's slowing me down and making studying very difficult.
Thanks!
